In the wake of Street Fighter IV there is a new generation of Street Fighter fans. So for all the newly introduced or for those of you who'd just overlooked this gem, here is e-sheds review! After the massive home console and arcade smash series of games the game engine had seen its day and the people demanded more complex sprites and animation to compete with Capcom's rival SNK. Capcom's response was Street Fighter III: The New Challengers... and it was a revelation! It blew the competition out of the water, receiving good reviews across the board. Though the 2D fighting genre was sloping downwards in sales and commercial success was gradual, the game became a cult classic.
Street Fighter III's new character roster was creative and demonstrated a slicker art style than ever before, with familiar faces from the series to make things comfortable. Old hands would take to new characters easily with similar moves and combos to their predeceases. Standard Street Fighter fair tarted up and took to dinner... same old styles but if it aint broke?
This game shines amongst the pale washed out grim action games of our times. The cutsie Japanimation inspired characters demonstrate a plethora of visually pleasing special moves. The eye candy comes quick and with clenched fists. All these elements make for one of the most elegant, well designed 2D fighting systems! Bravo Capcom bravo.
Available on nearly every format thinkable, it’s a very obtainable game that will supply years of enjoyment.
